Story

Hello & thank you for taking the time to visit our page!

Yes the rumours really are true, the Jones' have officially traded in the wine glasses for trainers and trips to the local for lifting weights and running through muddy fields.

So why on earth have we signed up to run a 12 mile military obstacle course described as 'probably the toughest in the world'? We must be crazy right? Well frankly yes, and supported by a wonderful team of equally bonkers friends and colleagues we are taking on this massive challenge to raise money for MIND, the mental health charity.

There are lot of great charities out there, all worthy of your time & donations, so why this one? 1 in 4 of us will suffer a mental health issue in their lifetime. Many people are also surprised to hear that I (Hannah) have personally suffered through ill health for many years.

So not only are we raising funds but we also want to do our bit to raise awareness that mental health issues do not define you as a person, that exercise can be a brilliant way of helping to ease some mental health issues and to help to break down the stigma that is still wrongly associated with talking about mental health experiences even with our nearest and dearest.

We'll be keeping you posted on all the highs and lows of our training so do keep checking back in on us. You can also catch up with and support all our teamies at the MindOverMudder page.

And there is more ... As I'm is part of the of the fabulous team at MoneySuperMarket (who are doing a phenomenal job raising funds and general awareness of mental health in the workplace) and MIND is their charity of the year they have offered to match everything we raise £ for £ - yes thats right, £ for £!!! So you donate a tenner and they will turn it into a whopping £20! Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the charity and then MoneySuperMarket will send MIND the same amount too!

Many thanks for all your support and wish us luck!
